It’s not currently possible for users to be merged using session ID, merging users is based on Amplitude ID, user ID and device ID. Anonymous users will be assigned an Amplitude ID and device ID, and then will later be merged when Amplitude recognizes the different user IDs belonging to the same user. You can read more about this here: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003135607

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any questions!

Best,
